The Devil Inside Reviews
Certainly it is far from being the worst horror film ever made, but after getting through all the good and mediocre ones, is it really worth spending time on the bad ones too?
| Original Score: 2/10 | Aug 8, 2021
The worst part of the film is its ending, an ending that certainly won't be revealed here but one that is such a let down.
| Original Score: 1.0/4.0 | Sep 6, 2020
An increasingly unwatchable found-footage horror flick...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Jul 11, 2020
In the end The Devil Inside is another in a long line of films trying recapture the original magic of the Exorcist. The mixing of this with found footage style of inexpensive movie making along with poor overall execution leads to an overall fail.
| Original Score: F | Jan 11, 2020
If The Devil Inside has any innovation to make to the exorcism film genre, it's iteration.

"The Devil Inside" is more boring than thrilling, a series of horror gimmicks that have been used in much better films.

Bell's hackneyed bore has been publicised as "The film the Vatican doesn't want you to see," but could be more accurately described as "The film audiences shouldn't have to see."
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 3, 2019
This movie is so aggressively nonsensical that your forehead will be sore from all the slapping.
| May 23, 2018
Without much of a storyline to carry it on, all we're left with is a barrage of meaningless encounters, migraine-inducing camera-work and populated by characters in which you lack any real emotional investment.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2017
The movie is all flash and no guts, lacking consistency, believable explanations, depth, and even a general desire to tell a plausible story...
| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 12, 2017
Two minutes into The Devil Inside, the whole scenario becomes so transparent and tasteless that you dream of taking a long walk around a graveyard just to get your fright fix.

One shudders to think of how many worthwhile horror films Paramount passed up to acquire this terribly drab junkpile.
| Aug 26, 2015
A stupid, boring, and inane exorcise in bargain basement horror...
| Mar 8, 2013
The Devil Inside is a con job; a fraud of a movie that leads audiences to the singularly most unsatisfying ending to a movie I've seen in my 13 years as a movie critic.
| Original Score: 2/10 | Mar 1, 2013
An exposition-heavy opening act and an abrupt lack of closure may leave moviegoers feeling underserved by The Devil Inside's few genuinely scary moments.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 1, 2012
horror that tries to shock you as many times as possible, rather than tell you a story.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 30, 2012
Nothing more than a tired, familiar and characterless genre installment with only the impressive contortions of Bonnie Morgan to recommend it.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 22, 2012
A terribly written, dubious slice of unscary found footage spiritual horror that ends with an ellipsis, not a period.
| Original Score: 2/10 | May 17, 2012
Despite a clever - if not particularly original - idea, this pseudo-documentary horror movie is let down by an immensely frustrating ending and some less than convincing performances.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 2, 2012
And in a wretched attempt to make this contrivance 'real', they resort to endless shaking of the camera. (You would love to shake them!) The only possession I was looking for in this devilish drivel was the possession of any kind of filmmaking talent.
| Original Score: 0/10 | Mar 22, 2012
